Stars Rising Behind the Trees - Time Lapse at IISAC2009

[Mike Salway]

Hi all

On top of one of the hills facing South East at Lostock Scout Camp, there’s a row of 5 trees that really stand out. I always wanted to make them more of a focus of something photographic. I used them in my Raining Stars at Lostock image from IISAC2008, but it was a much wider field.

On Friday night, 16th October at IISAC2009, I wanted to try again with a longer focal length. I setup my Canon 20D and 24-105mm L lens on a tripod, and programmed it to take 30 seconds exposures on repeat.

I combined the result into a movie – showing both timelapse and star trails. There’s also a single star trails image with all of the frames combined.
